Nit: I hate the name IMPL. I prefer something like STATIC_CONTENT_SERVER_INSTANCE, or better yet, just replace it with StaticContentServer(), assuming that instantiation is negligible.

Yeah, no argument there! But I think the next step is to actually just get rid of StaticContentServer entirely, as it's a class with no state and all the methods are just helper functions that could be dumped into the module, top-level.

Yes. The only difference is that the former could have been done in 1 minute, and the latter may never actually happen (unless you are planning more clean-up). Oh well. :)

Technically, it could have been done in 25 minutes, because of the length of time it takes to re-run tests on edx-platform. :-P Sorry, I just really didn't want to do another cycle of that. I do have more cleanup, planned, though -- this was intended as a minimum possible refactor to get rid of the middleware.
